    why do windows users install chrome?

    i don’t get it, edge comes preinstalled on windows and it’s chromium-based.

      If you’re gonna go though the trouble of installing a browser, why switch Microsoft for Google? They’re both evil and Edge actually performs significantly better than Chrome somehow (they’re basically the same I don’t get it).

      Install freaking Firefox.

        Exactly I don’t get it, the only explanation I can think of is that they have Chrome on their phone and want to sync it or something?

          It’s just momentum. Chrome was THE advised browser for a long time and people are just used to it.
